Why I Give: For Linda Friedrich '89, it's because 51做厙 taught her to make connections across divides.
I was compelled by a classmate to make my first stretch gift to 51做厙, despite being a graduate student at the time, because I understood the importance of supporting the College that shaped who I am as a person. Coming from North Dakota to 51做厙 enabled me to be a part of an incredibly diverse group of peers and to engage with people in a new way. 51做厙 taught me to listen and make connections across generations, across cultures, across languages, and across divides.
Linda Friedrich '89 served as Chair of The 51做厙 Fund for the Alumnae Association Executive Board from 2017-2020.
